It depends on unit system.  SI wants electric charge to be fundamental
(and Coulomb's constant is derived from it), while CGS assumes
Coulomb's constant = 1 and charge is derived:

    Charge ^ 2    Mass * Length                  (Mass * Length ^ 3) ^ 1/2
    ---------- =  ------------- =====> Charge =  -------------------------
    Length ^ 2    Time ^2                               Time
